Ka Speed Propeller |
|||||
The Ka-speed was developed by
adding the advantages of skewed propellers to the traditional Kaplan
style. It was conceived to be installed in the
Rice Speed Nozzle for best
performance, but may be installed into Kort Nozzles.

Ka Propeller |
|||||
Another example of Rice's most
advanced technology, the Kaplan style propeller is designed to be used
with a nozzle in order to give shrimpers and workboats more thrust by
considerably increasing the efficiency of a heavy loaded propeller when
working at low speed.

Nautilus Propeller |
|||||
The Nautilus Propeller is
Rice's latest development. It's skewed design reduces the propeller
pressure pulses to a minimum level, allowing the smoothest and quietest
operation.

Delfin Propeller |
|||||
Based on the famous B-Troost
Wageningen series, the Delfin is a versatile Propeller used worldwide on
fishing, supply and workboats.

Titan Propeller |
|||||
The Titan is a Hard working
propeller built to take the heavy demands of tugs, workboats and
heavy-duty vessels. The blade area and sections are larger than standard
propellers, making it suitable for vessels with limited propeller space.

Designed for pleasure crafts
and crew boats, the Crucero propeller has become one of Rice's most
popular models.

Rice Propellers - On the leading edge of Propulsion |
|
|
The
First Rice Propellers were made in 1911 for the local fishing fleet in
Mexico by Maximino Rice. As the demand for bigger and better commercial
propellers grew, the Rice Propeller company expanded and adapted to become
a leader in propulsion systems. Rice is also a leader in nozzle systems with its highly touted Rice Speed nozzle System which is replacing Kort Nozzles as a standard in the Industry. Rice has now manufactured over 25 000 commercial propellers and over 6 000 nozzle systems. Despite the variations in the marine market through the years and after competing in today's open and changing markets, the people at Rice Propellers have maintained their commitment to producing the finest quality propellers in the world. They continue to explore new technologies through co-operative programs with naval research, development centres and leading testing facilities worldwide. Rice has appointed Olds Engineering to represent them in the Australian region. Article: Propeller Sizing, Have you got the correct propeller? |
